Pros:
+ 15 Holes
+ Ample parking
+ Lots of elevation on 9, 10, 11, 12, and 15
+ Nice big trees scattered across the park (but most of the fairways are wide open)
Cons:
-Tees are a mess. Some of them are dirt, some asphalt (which is actually pretty good) and 1 is worn down astroturf
- There is no clear fairway on #4, very thick rough on 2-4
- Tee 2 was once dirt, it is now a hole
- Bridge across 8 has almost completely collapsed
- For a park named Bassett Creek, I want some water to come into play, No water hazards.
- Walk across tee 5 to get to tee 2
- Walk across 12's fairway to get to 15
- After 5, walk around the pond to the left to get to tee 6
- Tee signs are posts with hole numbers. No distance, no par.
This course feels like you spend more time walking between holes than actually playing. That might be a bit of a stretch, but there's a long walk to get to 1, from 5-6, from 7-8, from 14-15 and then another one to get back to the parking lot.
- No next tee signs, and a few holes could really use it.
- Holes 2-4 get incredibly muddy. Natural tees are slippery
Other Thoughts:
This course is a Frankenstein's monster. Taken separately, none of these holes is bad, but squashed into this park, the flow is so out of wack that it just brings the total rating down.
This was my home course for many years and I'll still play it on occasion, but every time I finish up and walk back to my car, I'm disappointed. This course has potential to be great, right now, not so much.
